What is a Phonon?

The common answer to this question is that a Phonon is the vibration of the lattice. My concern is whether or not this is limited to the vibration of the lattice? Are Phonons not in general waves...

What does it mean to have Orthogonal Quantum States?

I am working a version of the Dirac equation. This version have only two solutions, one for the positive energy state and the other for the negative energy state. I find that this version of the...

Can the Pioneer Anomaly be caused by mass accretion from the the Interplanetary Medium?

For quite sometime now, I have thought about the Pioneer Anomaly, I have read a number of papers on this, and in all my searches, I have not come across a suggestion as that presented in the...

Is the Big Bang Theory correct on its untested (and untestable) hypothesis that all matter in the Universe was created at an instant?

I have no problem with the central assumption of the Big Bang Cosmology that matter may very well have come from a single point on the spacetime continuum. I have always had a problem with the...

Is Relativity's Equal Footing Treatment of Space and Time Correct in its Entirety?

As well known, the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) was introduced along with the principle that there exists no system of coordinates that is preferred, but that any arbitrary system of...

Is there a Dirac equation for the Proton or Neutron?

To the best of my knowledge, because the Dirac equation explains very well the gyromagnetic ratio of the Electron, it is typically considered to be an equation for the Electron. There seems to be...

Do you know of any non-Euclidean geometries that preserve both the length and the angle upon parallel transport?

For example, Riemann geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry that only preserves the length upon parallel transport. I have come up with a geometry that preserves both the angle and length upon...

Do you think a Unified Field Theory is acheivable on a four dimensional continuum of spacetime?

In this reading, we vigorously demonstrate that all the known forces can be described by a single four vector potential. The theory is a unified theory not of just the four known forces, but of...

1. If I can quantize the atom using this hyperbolic spiral and classical physics, could nature do the same?

If we map as a continuous motion an ionising electron (beginning its journey at n=1) in an H atom, a specific hyperbolic spiral appears (see animation). When we solve this spiral formula, we find...

Is the zero-zero component of the metric tensor equal to 1 for accelerating reference frames?

Consider the case of negligible gravity but there is an accelerating reference frame. Its origin traces out a trajectory, or world line, seen in some inertial reference frame. The Lorentz metric...
